After a quiet phase in the market, the IPO season is picking up momentum. Starting from November 4, four major IPOs are set to launch on Dalal Street, including the highly anticipated Swiggy IPO from the mainboard segment. Additionally, there will be one IPO from the SME segment.

Despite a bearish trend in Dalal Street in October, IPOs have managed to maintain investor interest. In October, six major IPOs, including Hyundai Motor India’s mega issue, successfully raised Rs 38,700 crore. November appears to be on a similar track, with Swiggy’s IPO poised to become the second largest of the year, anticipated to make a strong start to Samvat 2081. In the first week of Samvat 2081, four companies aim to raise a total of Rs 18,534 crore through public issues.
